The Official Cousins is a loser thread

[dennis1]

Rothlisberger out for season. Any chance we could get Pittsburgh to take Cousins?

[FLYING_FINN'SSIDEKICK]

He'll look really good next time he plays a bad team though.

Hahaha that's for sure, I wouldn't call him a loser , But I also wouldn't call him a winner right now either!!

We probably could, But who'd we get back ?

We got Mannion. If we could trade Cousins and not have to eat that contract it would be a lifesaver!

I read that we have to eat his salary even in a trade.

Spielman must go!

Good lord people. I was as hard on Cousins yesterday as anybody.

This team is still the best in the division though and they are never going to trade Cousins and start Mannion.

Jesus H Christ.

Quit bitching about Sloter, Teddy, Keenum etc.. They all suck.

All the crap I took all offseason... Why didn't the Bears game make you guys realize he wasn't gonna work out?

All offseason here... You, Joe, Simpson, Dude, Ash, etc. Telling me to stop worrying about Cousins. How he will be the best. How much of a moron I was for saying that Teddy wasn't really that bad in retrospect.

I am loving it here right now!!! LOVING IT!

People are seeing what I saw last season. Why I was begging for us to draft a quarterback.

You are so boxed that you should just change your name and hide.

#Hoist!

You might have had one up on us but you constantly shouted out names of QBs who are still wprse than Cousins.

He's still better than any QB we had a chance at getting since. I'm just starting to question if you can win it all with this guy.

I don't see the #HOIST ending your statements.

Tell me this finally though... Why did you have such high expectations after he did this same thing against the Bears to end the season? They put in their back ups and he did this. All offseason we could have addressed this. Why not take Haskins? Jackson? A 2nd rounder for Rosen?

Just some hope? I've been saying all offseason that I lost my hope in this team when the Bears killed us with the season on the line. My hope was that maybe Cousins would come out like Bradford did against the Saints and light it up, but he actually looks worse.

I think he led with his head hoping to get hurt and off the field. He is Ricky Bobby!

Yeah we got Mannion but is he much better , I was hoping maybe we could get at least a capable QB ,Like someone mentioned could we try and get Teddy back!!! ??

Maybe it is because when I bring up Teddy some trolls here tear me to shreds, but I have cooled on Teddy. I think the progression was lost with him and I don't see any improvement. We will see with the Saints. I have no idea about Mannion, but I do know that Cousins is getting worse. I was done with Cousins after that Bears game though. I nearly broke my TV when he had nothing against the Bears back ups. I knew this would happen.

Lets pump it up in here!!

[Beef Supreme]

I’ve never seen cousins this hot.


But this ain’t the criticism. He’s never been questioned about his ability to make throws, even if he’s doing it currently at a higher level than ever before.

He’s got to answer the big game/prime-time/big spot pressure stuff. That’s the rub. He’s got a great chance to get a start on that this Thursday against a ratty Washington team.


But the only way to shake the “big-game loser” label is to start winning big games. Keep winning the small games and the big ones will come and he’ll have his chance.

Looks great right now, though.

He had stretches where he played this well in Washington and did it with a far worse team. Nobody should be terribly surprised he has this in him. Just sayin'.......

The way Cousins is playing maybe we should change his name to YourDaddy!!!! Haha sorry but I had to, not many people thought he would be playing like this after that stretch of horrendous play. But im glad he is playing good, I hope you're glad too.

Alright, if those are the type of numbers you are interested in talking about he was 24-23-1 in his last three seasons (and the only seasons where he wasn't coming out of the bullpen to see game action) in Washington which included a four game winning (3 of them road wins) streak to finish off the 2016 season and get the team into the playoffs. Considering he never had a legitimate receiver or running back (with the exception of Jordan Reed when he actually could take the field) and that the defense is always a shit show, that isn't too shabby. Take into consideration that those teams where at about the level of the 2018 Packers and not even Rodgers could get that team into the playoffs.

[ImUrDaddy84]

Hes played well against terrible defenses. Sucks when theres any kind of pressure. LEts not act like hes a god again. He played good against shitty team. Thats what hes supposed to do. What he NEEDS to do is lay good against good defenses, which he has not shown.,,And he is DEFINITELY not yourdaddy. ImUrDaddy!

No. This TEAM needs to show they can beat a good team. Not just Cousins.

I'm glad. I am a Vikings' fan first and much of my bitterness was from that Chicago game where we were thoroughly eliminated from the playoffs. There were years like the force out in Arizona where we barely missed, but in my memory there was never a let down like that Chicago game.

I've said all along that Kubiak is the best offensive coach we have had here in my memory. He made a very broken Manning in Denver win a Super Bowl, so why not Cousins? He is making a scheme for Cousins strengths and not even calling plays that are weaknesses for Cousins. That is a totally different level of offensive designing and playcalling. I think Kubiak and Dennison saved this team and especially saved Spielman's butt.

Teams will counter this though. There are a lot of smart defensive coordinators in the league and they will find a way to stop this. Right now teams are stacking to stop the run and we are throwing deep. Using play action and some great fakes at just the right moment. Cousins rarely is sitting in the pocket, but there was a play yesterday where a blitzer came right at him, he moved slightly, blitzer missed, and then he completed the pass.

It was amazing to see Cousins do that.

I have to eat crow right now because I didn't think this was possible. He is on fire and this offense is nearly unstoppable. We even pissed our first drive away and came back early against the Lions. Everything that was on the list for things we have struggled with has been checked off in the last three games. I was wrong I guess.

[Why Not Us]

We got Mannion. If we could trade Cousins and not have to eat that contract it would be a lifesaver!

I read that we have to eat his salary even in a trade.

Spielman must go!

I guess I just didn't have enough faith. You win today.

Cousins

9-12 of passing 3rd downs.

Guess that kept the "Sticks moving" huh Cunningham.

Bwhahahaa

[Hornets]

Oh. That would be enjoyable but I don’t share your optimism.

I’m not calling it. I’m just saying a 5pt loss @ Green Bay does automatically mean 8-8 or worse to me.

But Cousins’ long-standing inability come through in big games does mean no confetti this year. Until he proves otherwise.

I looked at the schedule: 10 wins is not happening.

@ Seattle
@ Chicago
@KC
@SD
@Dallas
Philly at home

The first three are losses. They will be big games and Cousins will be awful. Of the three after that, they might win one or two but I would bet on 1 at most.

The 5 pt loss as GB isn't simply a 5 pt loss. It is a further demonstration that Cousins doesn't have it and Zimmer's inability to get his defense ready to play at the opening after a week when the defense dominates. Zimmer admitted that he was fighting that attitude all week and yet, he still failed. If Zimmer was aware that his team was getting haughty hearing "this team is back" all last week, then he failed miserably countering it. (As he did in Philly last year)

Whoops!!
